World of Warcraft Legion New Patch Is Out On PTR

A less extensive patch than the last few weeks’, but still pretty substantial.

A new patch for World of Warcraft: Legion is out now on the Public Testing Realm. Patch 7.1 introduces a lot of hotfixes, features, and changes to the game. One of the most notable of these is that users playing the game on a higher resolution, such as 2K or 4K resolutions, will no longer have to suffer the ignonimy of a freakishly small cursor on the screen.

That apart, this remains a relatively lower profile update for the game, after how far reaching the past few ones have been. You can check out the list of changes below. World of Warcraft: Legion is available on PC now.
